TITLE: Could Gaps in Operations Be Causing Poor Student Retention Rates?
ABSTRACT: Come listen in as the University of South Florida Polytechnic discusses how technology can be used to identify retention related issues, how solutions can be developed to increase retention, and what impact retention initiatives have on a university. Through collection, organization, and analyzing data sources from different points, USFP identified gaps in their operations that resulted in poor retention rates. By implementing specific retention focused technology that allows them to flag at-risk students through an early alert system, increase communication with students, and improve data sets, USFP created a positive impact on student retention and more importantly, the student experience. Learn how taking ideas from the recruitment world can improve communication to current students and increase their awareness of university resources. Understand how collaboration with university resources aids in developing proactive plans to impact students. And finally, get insight into how USFP continues to identify and address new issues as they grow and work with new student populations.

TITLE: Transitions: Creating a Pathway for Student Success through Acculturation to Collegiate Culture
ABSTRACT: The transition from High School to College can be a challenge for many students. Students can experience a culture with high expectations on including that they communicate proactively with faculty, commit fully to their studies, and become part of a community of learners. As part of the process for reaccreditation, Stetson University increased its commitment to the acculturation and transition process for its students. The University wanted to more clearly articulate the goals for student success, as articulated in the University mission: _to foster in students the qualities of mind and heart that will prepare them to reach their full potential as informed citizens of local communities and the worldî and wanted to strengthen the transitions of students into academic program and the campus community. This process took examination of current practices, development of new processes and programs, and a commitment to change for the betterment of the student experience. Attendees of this program will learn about the two programs put in place with the goals of increasing ease in student transitions: Hatter Trek (a summer outdoor pre-orientation experience) and Hatter Quest (a first year seminar course that began its curricular content during orientation). Attendees will also be able to share best practices in transitions on their own campuses.
